West Philly Local readers are reporting a water main break on Osage Ave between 47th and 48th Streets, with water running down to 47th Street and over to Pine. Please walk and drive carefully in that area as the streets are icy. (Photos by Joel DeGrands)

They shut off all the water in Garden Court Plaza and probably other residences as well and don’t know when they will turn it back on. It was really nice coming home after a full day of work to find out I have no water to wash my hands. I did my taxes today and seeing how much money I paid to this disgrace of a city in wage taxes is making me physically ill. Time to prepare my exit strategy.

Paddles: Good plan. You should move to a city where no public services are provided, or at least to a city where water mains never break. We were without water for several hours while crews worked ’round the clock to identify and fix the break. I wouldn’t call that a disgrace. I’d call it reality.
